Padaca: Probe 'raid' on Robredo's condo

MANILA, Philippines – Former Isabela governor and Kaya Natin Movement co-founder Grace Padaca urged the government to investigate the alleged attempt to access the condominium unit and offices of the late Interior and Local Government Secretary Jesse Robredo.

Padaca said the incident calls for an explanation from the parties involved, particularly DILG Undersecretary Rico Puno, who was tagged as among those who tried to enter Robredo’s condo unit along with several policemen.

“The matter is crying for an explanation, at the very least, and an investigation. If Usec. Puno was open to interviews and answering questions then it would have been cleared,” Padaca told ANC’s “Dateline Philippines” on Saturday.

Padaca said she was informed of the attempt to enter Robredo’s condo and offices around noon of August 19, a day after Robredo’s plane crashed off Masbate.
